Choose finance and operations data in Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse

 Microsoft Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse lets you choose data from finance and operations apps. Use Azure Synapse Link to continuously export data from finance and operations apps into Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse is a service that's designed for enterprise big data analytics. It provides scalable high availability together with disaster recovery capabilities. Data is stored in the Common Data Model format, which provides semantic consistency across apps and deployments.

Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse offers the following features that you can use with finance and operations data:

  • You can choose both standard and custom finance and operations entities and tables.
  • Continuous replication of entity and table data is supported. Create, update, and delete (CUD) transactions are also supported.
  • You can link or unlink the environment to Azure Synapse Analytics and/or Data Lake Storage Gen2 in your Azure subscription. You don't have to go to the Azure portal or Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services for system configuration.
  • You can choose data and explore by using Azure Synapse. You don't have to run external tools to configure Synapse Analytics workspaces.
  • All features of Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse are supported. These features include availability in all regions, saving as Parquet Delta files, and restricted storage accounts.
  • The table limits in the Export to Data Lake service aren't applicable in Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse.
  • By default, saving in Parquet Delta Lake format is enabled for finance and operations data, so that query response times are faster.

This feature is generally available with finance and operations application versions shown in the following list. If you have not yet applied these application versions, install the latest cumulative update to use this feature.

  • 10.0.34 (PU58) cumulative update 7.0.6931.171 or later.
  • 10.0.35 (PU59) cumulative update 7.0.6972.149 or later.
  • 10.0.36 (PU60) cumulative update 7.0.7036.78 or later.
  • 10.0.37 (PU61) cumulative update 7.0.7068.39 or later.
